King Performance Titanium Complete Chassis & Fender Hardware Kit — Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V

Build your air-cooled VW with the ultimate lightweight, high-strength hardware upgrade. This complete King Performance kit replaces your heavy, corrosion-prone factory chassis, suspension, beam, pan, and fender hardware with race-grade Grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) — from the front beam all the way back to the fenders, in one kit.

You get a superior strength-to-weight ratio, lifelong rust resistance, and a show-quality finish.
